Saf-One London

Well, about 1-2 months ago, I asked LondonConnect for permission to construct a new garage in Bow and to introduce school routes 693-695. The routes were accepted as you can see. For the garage however, he told me permission may be given at a later date. A few weeks later, as BW filled up, I asked if the new site could be used to store buses. LondonConnect said yes. As no garage was built, it's still part of BW. The capacity of this area is 200 (currently with no facilities). As for maintaining buses, once the new site was opened, new facilities were installed at the actual BW, taking the capacity from 120 to 90. For refurbs, they are done at Fulham FM which is quite big but hardly has any routes.

But all of the routes say BW...

This is the message I sent LondonConnect. If you have any other concerns leave me a message. Note that I'm not going to give another explanation about BW.

"Ok, let's start from the top.

Deadline Change: I did not receive any message. That might have been your fault because I still haven't received anything. If so, then I forgive you because everyone makes mistakes. If it was a ProBoard problem, then I've got nothing against you. If it was my fault, which I doubt because I didn't do anything different but I still receive other messages, then I apologise.

Complaints: This was actually the second complaint. And last time all you did was give a general apology. What I sincerely expected was an apology via PM. And londonbuses67 did also complain.

Routes 139 and 189: LBOTG mentioned this on my thread. So I had a look at a good old atlas and realised it didn't make any sense. I probably wouldn't have done it on purpose for the 189 from Enfield. As for Fulham, what I meant was that the route wouldn't be allocated there, but say if a bus broke down, or there was heavy traffic or something like that, buses from FM would run. That was because KC has hardly any spares. However, I did admit I'd been a bit of an idiot and I said I would edit it ASAP.

Route 607: The reason for this transfer was that FM is miles closer to the route than KC. I never realised permission had to be sought, especially as the route's reliability would actually be improved with the transfer. And I'm sure other operators have transferred routes. If I cannot run it from FM, then either the contract will have to be terminated or other routes will need to be transferred as King's Cross is full."

This is part of a post I posted on the 10th of July:

"New Bow Garage:
Construction of the garage has not yet been approved. However, we have been given permission to use the area to store buses. Until the new garage is built, this will officially be part of BW. BW now has a capacity of 250- 125 at the new location and 125 at BW. The capacity of BW has gone down slightly because a couple of engineering pits have been made."

Since then a few changes have been made but it's basically the same. If you couldn't be bothered to read it at the time that's not my problem.

We are likely to quit the London Operator Game. However, a decision has not yet been made. If we do quit we'd/I'd like to choose who my company goes to. Whether that's possible or not, I don't know.

If you don't know why we're quitting, visit the Off-Route board.
